gov ernment had appropriated it without delay in every view of tbe case then a war was to be deprecated as nil wise unnecessary ami inexpedient and i am rejoiced to know that we have escajwd from it with all its con comitant horrors peace being thus restored and there be ing not the least prospert of collision with any other civilized power on earth it would seem to be the duty of the united states to examine well our internal condition anil see what measure ought to be adopted for the good of the several states the sur plus in the treasury amounts to abnit thirty five millions of dollars a considera ble portion of which has been derived from the sale of public lands the states hive a right to demand this part of the surplus as clearly as an individual citizen would have to demand any property to which his title was indisputable a sufficient balance would be hit in the treasury for all the pur pose of national defence after dividing a ii.ong the states what properly belongs to them hut instead ol pursuing this course dictated both by justice and sound policy many nf those who are concerned in the admini.-tration of the general government seem disposed thus far to resist every mea sure which has a tendency to divide th snrplus among the states the excuse is that all themoney must bp appropriated to llie bu laa^b&ocjbbflbbajbrt i ficat mm fca in the old states so lost to every dictate of reason and common sense so regardless of what is due to himself and his fellow citi zens so incapable of discovering the true interest of bis country as to tolerate for a moment the demands ot the new states â€” i should hope not these dentaii is are two unjust end px tr3vagant,theconsumatÂ«on of them would be too uurtghteous.not toexcile alarm int he old stales they should be at once hilly developed &. properly aadatatood ijenccthey have been frequently made to assumethe shape of bills which speak one thing while they do another which deceive and mislead by degrees so as not to awaken apprehension or rouse oppo sition of this character is the bill now before congress which proposes lo gradu ate the price of the pu'jlic lands to make provision for actual seders and to cede the refuse binds to the stales in which they lie the title of a bill is always under stood to declare its object but in this case we are not told a word about reducing the price of lands nor about ceding those which are valuable to the new states it speaks only of graduating the price and eedingfrf/'u.e lands or in other words,such as are of little or no value l*d us then look at me bid itself and sec what it con tains the bill provides that in five years iftei the 4th of july next all the lands now in market shall be ceded ha full prop erly to the slate in which they may lie that in the mean time the price shall be ffc submittel and considered i believe with more or less favour in every instance if the new states expected to act in good failh they would not oppose the land bill because lhe price would be just the same to them whether ihe proceeds are divided among all the slates or remain in the treasury their opposition tothe meas ure provea that they expect at no distant day to get the whole ofthe land did they for example object to the bill of 1833 which proposed to give them twelve and a hall per cent more than to the old states because it was too little or too much for them to receive ? why certainly because they thought it too little ; and the hope of getting more must have been the sole cause of their opposition to the bill the old states by opposing it also on that ground acted precisely as the new stales would have wished them to do and contributed to give effect to their designs of finally get ling possssion of all the land after thi manner it was that the old slates have been accessaries in the wrong done to themselves â€” have been iusiiumental in working their own injury but this twelve-and-a-half per een to the new slates is not without some reason to support it they have a greater increase of population than the old slates and ac cording to the rule laid down in the deed of cession this advance of twelve-and-a half per cetu to the new
